[0002] The Chinese medicine preparation machine is a device specially used for steaming medicines, which plays an important role in the medicine processing process. The main function of the Chinese medicine preparation machine is to steam the medicines to gelatinize the starch granules and make the tissues more solid. At the same time, during the steaming process, the activity of various enzymes is reduced and self-digestion no longer occurs, thereby improving the quality stability of the medicines.

[0003] During the cleaning process, drug residues may adhere to the inner wall of the Chinese medicine preparation machine. If these residues are not cleaned in time, they may become moldy or produce bacteria, affecting the quality and safety of the next steaming. At the same time, when the residues accumulate inside the equipment, the interior is easily corroded by the residues and cause equipment damage. Therefore, the operator needs to clean the Chinese medicine preparation machine after each steaming. The operator rinses the inner wall of the Chinese medicine preparation machine by holding the water pipe. However, due to the complex internal structure of the Chinese medicine preparation machine, some corners and gaps may be difficult to be thoroughly cleaned with cleaning equipment, making the cleaning process very labor-intensive and material-intensive.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0027] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] A fully automatic Chinese medicine dynamic processing machine, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a base 1 and a Chinese medicine preparation machine body 2, the Chinese medicine preparation machine body 2 includes an outer shell 3 and an inner tank 4, a water tank 28, a water pump 6 and a water pipe 7 are arranged on the base 1, a storage table 8 and a spray device are arranged in the inner tank 4, and the spray device is connected to the water pipe 7, the spray device includes a spray pipe 9 and a flushing assembly 10 located at one end of the spray pipe 9, the spray pipe 9 is adjustable in length and a plurality of small holes 11 are opened on the spray pipe 9, and the inner wall of the small hole 11 is provided with a fan-shaped A valve 12 is provided, specifically, four valves 12 are provided and two adjacent valves 12 are pressed against each other, a valve 13 is provided on one end of the spray pipe 9 close to the flushing component 10, a pressure sensor 14 is provided on the storage table 8, and a control panel 15 for receiving a signal from the pressure sensor 14 and driving the valve 13 to open and close is provided on the base 1, and the threshold value of the pressure sensor 14 is P. When the pressure on the pressure sensor 14 is greater than the threshold value, the valve 13 is closed and the water pump 6 is turned on, and water flows through the small hole 11 squeezes the valve 12 and sprays it into the inner tank 4. When the pressure applied to the pressure sensor 14 is less than its threshold value, the valve 13 opens and the water pump 6 opens, and the water flows through the flushing component 10 and sprays into the inner tank 4. By setting the spraying device, when the Chinese medicine preparation machine is in use, the operator places the medicine on the storage table 8. At this time, the pressure sensor 14 on the storage table 8 receives the pressure signal and sends it to the control panel 15. The control panel 15 drives the valve 13 on one side of the spray pipe 9 to close, and the water pump 6 injects water into the spray pipe 9. At this time, the water flow squeezes the valve 12 and flows out through the small hole 11 on the spray pipe 9 and sprays on the surface of the medicine at multiple angles to prevent the epidermis of the medicine from rupturing. When the operator takes the medicine away, the pressure signal disappears. At this time, the control panel 15 drives the valve 13 to open, and the water flows out through the flushing component 10 and flushes the inner wall of the inner tank 4. At the same time, the operator can also adjust the length of the spray pipe 9 to achieve changes in the flushing intensity at different positions.

[0029] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the flushing assembly 10 includes a connecting block 16 and two rotating blocks 17 respectively located on the top and bottom surfaces of the connecting block 16. A plurality of nozzles 18 are arranged in a circular array on the rotating block 17. The nozzles 18 can be rotated by means of a control panel 15 and water flows through the nozzles 18 and are sprayed into the inner tank 4. The nozzles 18 are arranged in a circular array so that the cleaning liquid can be sprayed into the inner tank 4 from multiple directions, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the inner wall of the inner tank 4. The rotating function of the nozzles 18 allows the cleaning liquid to cover a larger area, thereby reducing cleaning dead angles and improving cleaning efficiency. The rotation of the nozzles 18 can be precisely controlled by means of the control panel 15, so that specific cleaning areas can be cleaned intensively. Residue accumulation can be reduced through effective cleaning, thereby reducing the risk of equipment damage due to corrosion.

[0030] Furthermore, a plurality of brackets 19 are provided on the inner wall of the inner tank 4, and the plurality of brackets 19 correspond to the nozzles 18 one by one. One end of the bracket 19 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 20. By arranging the bracket 19 and the rotating plate 20, after the flushing water flows to the rotating plate 20 again, the rotating plate 20 will rotate and distribute the water flow to various positions in the inner tank 4, so that the flushing component 10 can thoroughly clean some corners and gaps in the inner tank 4 during the flushing process, making the cleaning process very simple and convenient, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0031] A trapezoidal block 21 is provided at one end of the water pipe 7 away from the water pump 6, and one side of the trapezoidal block 21 is pressed against the outer wall of the inner tank 4. The water outlet area of ​​the bottom surface of the trapezoidal block 21 is larger than the water inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the spray pipe 9. The water outlet area of ​​the trapezoidal block 21 is larger than the water inlet cross-sectional area of ​​the spray pipe 9, which helps to reduce the pressure loss when the water flows through the spray pipe 9, ensuring that there is sufficient water pressure at the end of the spray pipe 9 for effective cleaning. The design of the trapezoidal block 21 helps to evenly distribute the water flow to various parts of the spray pipe 9, ensuring that the small holes 11 on the spray pipe 9 can obtain sufficient water flow to achieve a uniform cleaning effect. At the same time, the design of the trapezoidal block 21 makes the contact area between the water pipe 7 and the inner tank 4 larger, the connection is more stable, and it is also convenient for installation and maintenance.

[0032] A groove 22 is provided on the bottom surface of the trapezoidal block 21, and an inflatable sealing strip 23 is provided in the groove 22. When the inflatable sealing strip 23 is inflated, the inflatable sealing strip 23 presses against the inner wall of the groove 22 and the outer wall of the inner tank 4. The inflatable sealing strip 23 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the groove 22 and the outer wall of the inner tank 4 when inflated, providing a better sealing effect to prevent leakage of the cleaning liquid. Good sealing performance prevents the cleaning liquid from overflowing, avoids pollution to the surrounding environment of the machine, and keeps the working environment clean. At the same time, the design of the groove 22 makes the structure of the inflatable sealing strip 23 more stable and reliable, further ensuring the good sealing between the trapezoidal block 21 and the inner tank 4.

[0033] An operating window 24 is provided on the shell 3, and a sealing cover 25 for covering the operating window 24 is rotatably connected to the shell 3. The movable end of the sealing cover 25 is fixed to the shell 3 by a latch. By providing the operating window 24 and the sealing cover 25, it is convenient for operators to store and retrieve medicines, thereby improving work efficiency. This design helps to reduce wear and tear that may be caused by frequent opening and closing of the shell 3, thereby extending the service life of the machine.

[0034] The spray device also includes at least one flow sensor 26. The outflow sensor is arranged on the side of the spray pipe 9 close to the valve 13 and the flow sensor 26 wirelessly communicates with the control panel 15 for real-time monitoring of the flow of the spray water and transmitting the data to the central processing unit of the control panel 15. The processing unit automatically adjusts the working parameters of the water pump 6 according to the preset cleaning program. The flow sensor 26 can monitor the flow of the spray water in real time to ensure that the cleaning process is carried out according to the preset program, thereby improving the consistency and reliability of the cleaning. By monitoring the flow and automatically adjusting the working parameters of the water pump 6, unnecessary water and energy waste can be reduced, and a more energy-saving cleaning process can be achieved. Automated flow monitoring and adjustment reduce the need for operators to manually adjust the parameters of the water pump 6, thereby reducing the possibility of human operating errors.

[0035] Furthermore, the water pump 6 is a variable frequency water pump 6, which can automatically adjust its operating frequency and output power according to the feedback signals of the flow sensor 26 and the temperature sensor to achieve precise water flow control. The variable frequency water pump 6 can automatically adjust the operating frequency and output power according to the sensor feedback signal to achieve precise control of water flow speed and pressure to ensure the cleaning effect. At the same time, by reducing the frequent start and stop of the water pump 6, mechanical wear can be reduced and the service life of the water pump 6 and related components can be extended.

[0036] The inner tank 4 is provided with a drain pipe 7 which passes through the outer shell 3 and extends to the outside of the outer shell 3. The base 1 is detachably connected with a water storage tank 27 located directly below the water outlet of the drain pipe 7. Four wheels 5 are provided at the bottom of the base 1. The wheels 5 are locking universal wheels, which can lock the wheels 5 after the machine is positioned to prevent the machine from moving during operation, and each wheel 5 is equipped with an independent locking and unlocking mechanism. The design of the drain pipe 7 allows the water after cleaning to be discharged smoothly, avoiding water accumulation in the inner tank 4 and reducing the growth of bacteria and mold. The detachable water storage tank 27 is convenient for cleaning and maintenance, and the residues and impurities therein can be quickly removed. The locking universal wheels allow the wheels 5 to be locked after the machine is positioned to prevent the machine from moving or sliding during operation, reducing the risk of damaging the machine or the surrounding environment.

[0037] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
